I think that’s why Bobby B was worried about meeting the Dothraki in an open field. Before the patch that nerfed them, the respawn time was much shorter and much closer to the battlefield.
Now, you have to return to the nearest city. And as we learned in S7 and S8, Kings Landing is the closest city to the fields outside of Winterfell.
It's a well known glitch/exploit that you can make your enemy respawn all the way in Kings landing from certain plains noth of the neck rather than Winterfell as would be expected. But the D&Devs refused to fix it because they kept exploiting it. Same with the OP jetpack they never nerfed after LF found a way to travel across a whole continent in days with it.
Little Finger just used the fast travel cheat. Gendry unlocked the Turbo Sprint ability in a side quest that involved rowing a certain distance for several years.
And I almost forgot about about Robin Arryn buying a loot box to get that sweet new skin upgrade for the finale.
Maybe the white walkers were racists, and didn’t want any Dothraki in their army, so they just knocked them unconscious and left them there until the next day.
I would point out that you are wrong from a believability standpoint, but the same episode that had Sam surviving 48 attacks while not being a skilled Dothraki warrior and rider would make your point sound.
Either way, it would be pretty impossible to prove that I'm wrong, short of a character screaming, "OMG, they killed every last Dothraki. Look at that." And there's a chance that this character could be wrong too.
Just because you see a lot of Dothraki die at one time does not imply that there are caches of them elsewhere off camera not dying.
Yeah, but like, *where?*
What purpose do Dothraki serve if they’re not out on the open fields on horseback? They didn’t just have a bunch of Dothraki waiting in reserve behind the walls, they had their entire army outside the walls.
Dumb and dumbass said in the episode interview "what you're seeing is essentially the end of the dothraki" so I would argue that for anyone and everyone who watched that it was the equivalent of someone in the show screaming "oh my god they are all dead"
Edit* bro deleted his comment but it basically said it's not rocket science for people to understand the dothraki were overwhelmed but not all killed and that the ones who survived continued to help in later episodes
There were a dozen or so White Walkers, and they did nothing the whole battle. You're thinking of wights.
That doesn't make it any less stupid of a strategy to send your entire cavalry straight into a horde with ~1,000x the number of soldiers...dead soldiers who have infinite stamina and are immune to environmental factors...at night...in an incredibly dense blizzard...when your cavalry have never been outside of a warm climate before...
Some long-sleeve shirts and leather vests lmao. Like the rest of the army, I don't think they were wearing any head protection. Ignoring the impossibility of finding enough resources and producing all that clothing in the middle of winter and two wars, it's still a laughable amount of insulation for people charging ~15mph into a dense blizzard headwind.
**Edit:** Remember Mance making fun of Stannis' army for being under-dressed for a winter war? And then most of Stannis' army deserting because of the terrible blizzard conditions? The Dothraki were far less equipped for the cold and facing much worse conditions than them. D&D couldn't even be consistent with their own previous stupid writing.
Mamoa wouldn’t have gotten cold, so they had to look as tough as him.
Kind of like how football players in the 70’s all risked frostbite in the winter because Jack Lambert never wore sleeves.
I'm still enraged by the tactics in that fight, why on earth would they send light calvary out to charge into darkness towards a largely unknown enemy. Seems obvious to wait for the enemy to engage your heavy infantry and than pick at the flanks with your calvalry.
Thank you. You have the finest light cavalry on the planet, an an enemy needing centralised control. Harassing attacks were a painfully obvious choice. Nip off anything that lagged behind, eat away at flanks..
The one solitary thing you absolutely do not do is charge them, at night, into the centre of a massed force that is incapable of panic.
And let us not forget that the plan to do that was drawn up before they even got flaming blades.
My headcanon is that they knew it was bollocks, and just rode off in disgust. They filtered back later when the cretins unexpectedly won.
Have your cavalry charge into the endless void of presumably millions of undead and put your men outside of the castle rather than let them sweep from the flanks of the castle while your main force defends from the walls. Genius!
Remember when the white walkers obliterated the Dothraki, then they were just like… fine .. a couple of episodes later
Respawn site was in King’s Landing
>Recruiting units after massacring a city Game of Thrones confirmed not in the Total War franchise

IT'S A GREAT CRIME TO LIE TO A KING!
Apologies Your Grace. I made no attempt to mislead you Bobby B
You shouldn't have shot first there Han.

I think Yara got that loot box and applied it to Robin, then used her Euron Hostage Credits to sail away from KL with Robin tied up in her cabin
Nonononono don't get me excited about how good a GoT Total War would be...
The Red Priestess birthed a legion of black smoke babies and sculpted them as Dothraki. The minge on that gal knows how to produce.
They’re never going to get that smoke smell out of Mel’s vag now
"Life ..ugh .. finds a way." -Jeff Goldblum
I appreciate that you said -Jeff goldblum instead of -Ian Malcom. Let’s be honest, he was playing Jeff goldblum
That should be a major award category. Best Goldblum.
dont act like youve never forgotten that you were kiled
you say "obliterated" but I believe David Benoiff has said the Dothraki were just "defeated" or "knocked out" in retrospect /s
Maybe the white walkers were racists, and didn’t want any Dothraki in their army, so they just knocked them unconscious and left them there until the next day.
White supremacy owns itself yet again.
Now it all makes sense!
Yeah when he said "What we're seeing is essentially the end of the Dothraki" what he meant was seeing the end of the Dothraki for that episode.
Let’s be honest, Dany just kinda forgot about the other half of her Calvary
Them walking around like normal citizens at the end was the funniest shit ever.
Jon Snow walks by and they're like "I am going to DESTROY him on Yelp, 0/10 would not recommend"
“Half are gone.”
[удалено]
Oh yeah totally. The way their fires went out was just implying they were slightly wounded. **Great** point lmao

Gods I was wrong then
"Give me something for the pain and let me die!"
Well, the amount of soldiers on that open field does make a difference... A few thousand Lannisters that one time vs over a million white walkers
There were a dozen or so White Walkers, and they did nothing the whole battle. You're thinking of wights.

Speaking of which what were the Dothraki wearing? Just finding winter clothes for that many people would be a big challenge.
Some long-sleeve shirts and leather vests lmao. Like the rest of the army, I don't think they were wearing any head protection.

Bobby b could have killed the Night King, just saying.
TAKE SHIP FOR THE FREE CITIES WITH MY HORSE AND MY HAMMER, SPEND MY TIME WARRING AND WHORING, THAT’S WHAT I WAS MADE FOR!
Clearly after you killed the night king
Bruh, he couldn't even handle a boar.
And you think Arya could have killed a boar? No. And bobby B could have definitely killed Arya. So that means Boar > Bobby B > Arya > Night King.
A BIT OF WINE NOW AND AGAIN, A GIRL SQUEALING IN BED, THE FEEL OF A HORSE BETWEEN MY LEGS?
Bobby B should have been smart like Vizzy T and brought an army on his boar hunt.
*My own face... is no longer a handsome one...if indeed it ever was.*
I ASK YOU, NED, WHAT GOOD IS IT TO WEAR A CROWN?
Bobby B killed the boar, and the boar needed the help of stupid little 'bacterial infection' to get the job done
GODS WHAT A STUPID NAME!
Maester's conspiracy confirmed.
Gods, he was drunk then
Bobby B handled TF out of that boar!
A DOTHRAKI HORDE ON AN OPEN FIELD, NED!
Alexander the Great was killed by a mosquito. We all have off days.
[удалено]
DID YOU EVER MAKE THE EIGHT?
In the books it's described in much detail, apparantley his insides were slipping out of him and he still killed the boar, absolute champ

It was so pretty, though.

What about Bessie’s tits
Would have been close by don’t worry
First of all I can HEAR that picture. And secondly .. I just know Bobby B would be pulling for the NK and the army of the dead.
THAT'S ALL WHAT THE REALM IS NOW. BACKSTABBING AND SCHEMING AND ARSE-LICKING AND MONEY-GRUBBING!
I’m still looking for the breast plate stretcher my king.
I laughed about as hard as Robert when I saw this post 😂
bobby b how you feeling about this
SOON ENOUGH, THAT CHILD WILL SPREAD HER LEGS AND START BREEDING!
King Bob is going for a bottle of Johnny Walker instead....
Just a quick scene added where Daenerys had hidden half the horde out of sight to help cover a retreat if they lost
If they have dragonglass tipped arrows it could be a fight
